CVE-2026-80790
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-fc: fix invalid free in LS IOD error path nvmet_fc_alloc_ls_iodlist() advances iod while initializing the LS IOD array.
Overview
CVE-2026-80790 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 4, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-fc: fix invalid free in LS IOD error path
nvmet_fc_alloc_ls_iodlist() advances iod while initializing the LS IOD
array. If an rqstbuf allocation or response buffer DMA mapping fails,
the unwind loop decrements iod past the start of the array. The final
kfree(iod) therefore frees an address before the allocated object.
This can be reproduced with nvme-fcloop and failslab by setting
fail-nth to 6 before creating a target port. KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: invalid-free in nvmet_fc_register_targetport
Free of addr ffff88816cf8ff48 by task nvmet_fail_nth/9552
Free the original allocation base stored in tgtport->iod instead. With
this fix applied, the same sysfs write with fail-nth=6 returns -ENOMEM
without any KASAN report.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80790?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80790 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
